Michael D. Coe, uno de los mas importantes mayologos de la actualidad, relata en este libro la historia de lo que el considera "una de las aventuras intelectuales mas interesantes de nuestro tiempo": una historia polemica, de enfrentamientos intelectuales entre los distintos expertos que, si bien con ideas distintas, a veces directamente opuestas, participaron en la ardua labor del desciframiento de los glifos mayas.
